No, not you. Roger. I think he's overreacting at how bad this contract is.

My estimation of Eberle as a 50 point player was based on his rough production from 25 - 27 and ignoring this year as an outlier. But if we took his higher end production of 60 points, it's still a valid question. If most players produce at 80% of their prime years from 31-34, is Eberle at 48 pts / year (roughly obviously) worth $5.5 million? Probably yes by today's standards. So it's not a bad contract.

My personal take on it is that as long as there are no cap concerns, no one will care. If the Islanders need cap space, then Eberle's contract will be viewed as a problem and if he's producing at a 0.5ppg rate or less, then that contract will be hard to move. And that's the bad side.

I started out with a more definitive opinion on the subject and realized that both sides are valid as I looked at it.

Clearly I'm just stalling while I wait for you to give away where the iocaine powder has been hidden.

got it. I mostly agree.

Yeah, as I said, I'm not going to call it a bad contract. $5M just doesn't seem to be much these days.

if you're basing it on 40 points, I think it's bad, but I don't think you can reasonably expect that's all he's going to be going forward. i'm not really sure what to expect from him, and that's why i'm unsure what i think of the contract.

From the Isles perspective, it's not like they'll be filling that spot with something better, so it's not really a problem for them.

Reporting the Leafs are shopping Sparks is like reporting I'm gonna probably take a poop at some point in the next 24 hours.

I would imagine most of Toronto is in the 5-7 range today.

The majority of those have jerseys. It’s really not hard to figure out who manages the team.

Very simple. Prepare for your job. If the raptors were going to win(which they did) you have to be prepared for the situation.

I have a friend who works courstide security for the Raptors...and yes he has to know who is allowed on the court and who isn’t. It’s his (frank)ing job to do so.

I guess Oracle arena has different standards...or the cop is just unprepared. Either or it’s not a good situation to have. The security team goes through hours of prep before each event for a reason. They don’t just show up to the arena for a 3 hour shift.
